Show Images from URL in blackberry
Hi am trying to laod an image directly from url in balckberry. there is no option in balckberry to call directly. is something there to do so.kindly guide me.

There is no shortcut to do so.
You need to do it by code.
public static InputStream getInputStream(String url)
{
InputStream inputStream = null;
HttpConnection httpConnection = null;
try
{
httpConnection = (HttpConnection)Connector.open(url+connectiontype));
httpConnection.setRequestMethod(HttpConnection.POST);
final int r=httpConnection.getResponseCode();
if(r==200)
inputStream = httpConnection.openDataInputStream();
}
catch(final Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Error is "+e.getMessage());
}
return inputStream;
}
and use getInputStream() like this:
InputStream is=getInputStream(s1);
int length=is.available();
//System.out.print("length ==========="+length);
byte[] data=new byte[length];
data = IOUtilities.streamToBytes(is);
// code to save image in sd card
saveFile.create();
OutputStream outStream = saveFile.openOutputStream();
outStream.write(data);
outStream.close();
saveFile.close();
is.close();
This code will save image from url.

Vaadin flow: byte[] to image

I try to display an image, stored as blob in a table.
So I need to convert a byte[] into a Vaadin Image class (I guess that's the best way to display it ?).
I try this solution (4 years old):
https://vaadin.com/forum/thread/10271496/byte-array-to-vaadin-image
it's not working :
new StreamResource.StreamSource() { -> Cannot resolve symbol 'StreamSource'
How can I do it in Vaadin 13 ?
Here is a solution:
private Image convertToImage(byte[] imageData)
{
StreamResource streamResource = new StreamResource("isr", new InputStreamFactory() {
#Override
public InputStream createInputStream() {
return new ByteArrayInputStream(imageData);
}
});
return new Image(streamResource, "photo");
}

Displaying BufferedImage in Vaadin

I want to display an BufferedImage that is returned by some API ( a Java Library for Canon Hack Development Kit) in my Vaadin Application without saving it to the file system. Is that somehow possible? It doesn't seem to be much of a hassle in swing but I have found no way to do it in Vaadin so far.
Yes, this is perfectly possible with Vaadin using a com.vaadin.server.StreamResource. A StreamResource provides the data of some InputStream and can be used anywhere a com.vaadin.server.Resource is expected (i.e. links, images, icons...).
The following example method creates a StreamResource for a BufferedImage on the fly:
private StreamResource createStreamResource() {
return new StreamResource(new StreamSource() {
#Override
public InputStream getStream() {
String text = "Date: " + DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.FULL, DateFormat.MEDIUM).format(new Date());
BufferedImage bi = new BufferedImage(370, 30,
BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
bi.getGraphics().drawChars(text.toCharArray(), 0,
text.length(), 10, 20);
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ImageIO.write(bi, "png", bos);
return new ByteArrayInputStream(bos.toByteArray());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return null;
}
}
}, "dateImage.png");
}
This can be used with an com.vaadin.ui.Image as follows:
Image image = new Image("", createStreamResource());
layout.addComponent(image);
Refer to the Vaadin Docs about Stream Resources for more information.

listfield with bitmap loaded from server

i have made a listfield with images, the listfield is parsed from online xml file.
it seems that downloading the images into the listfield is blocking the process of parsing the content of the listfield "text" , i want to show the content of the listfield "text" and then start to proccess the download of the images and then show the images.
here is the code to call the downloader class:
Thread t = new Thread();
{
String imageFilename = imageurlStrin.substring(imageurlStrin.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
String saveDire = "file:///store/home/user/pictures/listfield/"+imageFilename;
try {
FileConnection fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open(saveDire);
if (fconn.exists()) {
// do nothing
}
if (!fconn.exists()) {
UrlToImage bit = new UrlToImage(imageurlStrin);
pic = bit.getbitmap();
}
}catch (Exception ioe) {
System.out.println("error 18");
}
};
t.start();
and this is the downloader class code:
public class UrlToImage implements Runnable{
String imageurlStrin=null;
BitmapDowloadListener listener=null;
public static Bitmap _bmap;
private EncodedImage eih1;
public void run() {
UrlToImage bit = new UrlToImage(imageurlStrin);
}
public UrlToImage(String imageurlStrin)
{
HttpConnection connection = null;
InputStream inputStream = null;
EncodedImage bitmap;
byte[] dataArray = null;
//byte[] data1 = null;
try
{
connection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(imageurlStrin, Connector.READ, true);
inputStream = connection.openInputStream();
byte[] responseData = new byte[10000];
int length = 0;
StringBuffer rawResponse = new StringBuffer();
while (-1 != (length = inputStream.read(responseData)))
{
rawResponse.append(new String(responseData, 0, length));
}
int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
if (responseCode != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK)
{
throw new IOException("HTTP response code: "
+ responseCode);
}
final String result = rawResponse.toString();
dataArray = result.getBytes();
}
catch (final Exception ex)
{ }
finally
{
try
{
inputStream.close();
inputStream = null;
connection.close();
connection = null;
}
catch(Exception e){}
}
bitmap = EncodedImage.createEncodedImage(dataArray, 0,dataArray.length);
// this will scale your image acc. to your height and width of bitmapfield
int multH;
int multW;
int currHeight = bitmap.getHeight();
int currWidth = bitmap.getWidth();
int scrhi = Display.getWidth()/4;
int scrwe = Display.getWidth()/4;
multH= Fixed32.div(Fixed32.toFP(currHeight),Fixed32.toFP(scrhi));//height
multW = Fixed32.div(Fixed32.toFP(currWidth),Fixed32.toFP(scrwe));//width
bitmap = bitmap.scaleImage32(multW,multH);
Bitmap thefinal = bitmap.getBitmap();
//url = StringUtils.replaceAll(url ,"http://u.bbstars.com/i-", "");
final String imageFilename = imageurlStrin.substring(imageurlStrin.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
String saveDire = "file:///store/home/user/pictures/listfield/"+imageFilename;
String Dire = "file:///store/home/user/pictures/listfield/";
JPEGEncodedImage finalJPEG = JPEGEncodedImage.encode(thefinal, 100);
byte[] raw_media_bytes = finalJPEG.getData();
int raw_length = finalJPEG.getLength();
int raw_offset = finalJPEG.getOffset();
FileConnection filecon = null;
OutputStream out = null;
try {
filecon = (FileConnection) Connector.open(Dire,Connector.READ_WRITE);
if(!filecon.exists()){
filecon.mkdir();
}
filecon = (FileConnection) Connector.open(saveDire,Connector.READ_WRITE);
if(!filecon.exists()){
filecon.create();
}
out = filecon.openOutputStream();
out.write(raw_media_bytes, raw_offset, raw_length);
out.close();
filecon.close();
System.out.println("----------------file saved"+imageFilename);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("---------------===================- error saving the file");
};
try {
FileConnection fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open(saveDire);
if (fconn.exists()) {
InputStream input = fconn.openInputStream();
int available = input.available();
final byte[] data1=IOUtilities.streamToBytes(input);
input.read(data1, 0, available);
eih1 = EncodedImage.createEncodedImage(data1,0,data1.length);
}
}catch (Exception ioe) {
System.out.println("error gettin bitmap details from the piture");
}
_bmap=eih1.getBitmap();
}
public Bitmap getbitmap()
{
return _bmap;
}
}
what should i do to prevent UI blocking, i want the perfect why to call that downloader class without stoping the process of parsing the other listfield content?
I think you may just have a simple syntax problem with the way you declared your thread object. See the BlackBerry documentation on Thread here
When you create a Thread, you normally either extend the Thread class with a subclass of your own, that implements the run() method, or you pass a new Runnable object in to the constructor of your Thread object. In your code, you actually declare a Thread instance, and create it, but do not give it a Runnable, or override the default run() method. So, this thread won't do anything in the background.
You have essentially declared a chunk of code within a local scope. That's what happens if you just put some code within a set of curly brackets ({ and }) that are not attached to anything:
Thread t = new Thread();
// this next curly bracket starts a "local scope". it is NOT part of Thread t!
{
String imageFilename = imageurlStrin.substring(imageurlStrin.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
// The rest of your code here will not be executed on Thread t. It will be executed
// on the thread where you instantiate Thread t, right before you call t.start();
// If this code is called on the main/UI thread (which it probably is), then the
// network request will block the UI thread, which will stop the loading of the rest
// of the list.
};
t.start();
What you probably want is this:
Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
String imageFilename = imageurlStrin.substring(imageurlStrin.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
String saveDire = "file:///store/home/user/pictures/listfield/"+imageFilename;
try {
FileConnection fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open(saveDire);
if (fconn.exists()) {
// do nothing
}
if (!fconn.exists()) {
UrlToImage bit = new UrlToImage(imageurlStrin);
pic = bit.getbitmap();
}
} catch (Exception ioe) {
System.out.println("error 18");
}
}
});
t.start();
Try that, and see if that fixes the problem.

Error while downloading & saving image to sd card in blackberry?

I am working on blackberry project where i want to download image & save it in sd card in blackberry. By going through many sites i got some code & based on that i wrote the program but when it is executed the output screen is displaying a blank page with out any response. The code i am following is..

This is the code which i am using. Not getting any response except blank page.. As i am new to blackberry development unable to find out what is the problem with my code. Can anyone please help me with this...... Actually i am having other doubt as like android & iphone does in blackberry simulator supports for SD card otherwise we need to add any SD card slots for this externally...
Waiting for your reply.....
To simply download and save that image to the SDCard, you can use this code. I changed your SDCard path to use the pictures folder, which I think is the standard location on BlackBerrys. If you really want to store it in images, you may just need to create the folder if it doesn't already exist.
package com.mycompany;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import javax.microedition.io.Connector;
import javax.microedition.io.HttpConnection;
import javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnection;
public class DownloadHelper implements Runnable {
private String _url;
public DownloadHelper(String url) {
_url = url;
}
public void run() {
HttpConnection connection = null;
OutputStream output = null;
InputStream input = null;
try {
// Open a HTTP connection to the webserver
connection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(_url);
// Getting the response code will open the connection, send the request,
// and read the HTTP response headers. The headers are stored until requested.
if (connection.getResponseCode() == HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
input = new DataInputStream(connection.openInputStream());
int len = (int) connection.getLength(); // Get the content length
if (len > 0) {
// Save the download as a local file, named the same as in the URL
String filename = _url.substring(_url.lastIndexOf('/') + 1);
FileConnection outputFile = (FileConnection) Connector.open("file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/pictures/" + filename,
Connector.READ_WRITE);
if (!outputFile.exists()) {
outputFile.create();
}
// This is probably not a robust check ...
if (len <= outputFile.availableSize()) {
output = outputFile.openDataOutputStream();
// We'll read and write this many bytes at a time until complete
int maxRead = 1024;
byte[] buffer = new byte[maxRead];
int bytesRead;
for (;;) {
bytesRead = input.read(buffer);
if (bytesRead <= 0) {
break;
}
output.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
}
output.close();
}
}
}
} catch (java.io.IOException ioe) {
ioe.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (output != null) {
output.close();
}
if (connection != null) {
connection.close();
}
if (input != null) {
input.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// do nothing
}
}
}
}
This class can download an image in the background, as I suggested. To use it, you can start a worker thread like this:
DownloadHelper downloader = new DownloadHelper("http://images03.olx.in/ui/3/20/99/45761199_1.jpg");
Thread worker = new Thread(downloader);
worker.start();
This will save the file as /SDCard/BlackBerry/pictures/45761199_1.jpg. I tested it on a 5.0 Storm simulator.
There are several problems with the code posted. It's also not completely clear what you're trying to do. From the question title, I assume you want to download a jpg image from the internet, and display it.
1) You implement a method called connectServerForImage() to download an image, but then it's commented out. So, the method isn't going to download anything if it's not called.
2) Even if it's uncommented, connectServerForImage() is called here
BitmapField bmpFld1=new BitmapField(connectServerForImage("http://images03.olx.in/ui/3/20/99/45761199_1.jpg"));
This will block the main (UI) thread while it downloads your image. Even though you can do it this way, it's not a good thing to do. Instead, you could create a Thread to download the image as a background task, and then use UiApplication.invokeLater() to load the image into your BitmapField on the main/UI thread.
3) Your copyFile() method tries to copy a file named rim.png, which must be an image bundled with your application, and saves it to the SDCard. Is this really what you want? Do you want to save the downloaded image instead? This method doesn't seem to be connected to anything else. It's not saving the image downloaded from the internet, and the image it does save is never used anywhere else.
4) In copyFile(), this line
fc = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///SDCard/BlackBerry/images/" + image, Connector.READ_WRITE);
is passing a byte[] in as part of the filename to open (your variable named image). You should probably be adding a String name to the end of your SDCard path. As the code is, it's probably opening a file in the /SDCard/BlackBerry/images/ folder with a very long name that looks like a number. Or it might fail entirely, if there are limits on the length of filenames.
5) In Java, it's not usually a good idea to make everything static. Static should normally be used for constants, and for a very few methods like the main() method, which must be static.
Try to clean these things up, and then repost the code, and we can try to help you with your problem. Thanks.

Blackberry: Dowloading images in custom field slows VerticalFieldManager

Here is the paint method of my custom field:
protected void paint(Graphics graphics) {
new downloadImage();
Bitmap img = downloadImage.connectServerForImage(this.poster);
graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, 100, 150, img, LEFT, TOP);
}
Here is the connectServerForImage method:
public static Bitmap connectServerForImage(String url) {
HttpConnection httpConnection = null;
DataOutputStream httpDataOutput = null;
InputStream httpInput = null;
int rc;
Bitmap bitmp = null;
try {
httpConnection = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url);
rc = httpConnection.getResponseCode();
if (rc != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
throw new IOException("HTTP response code: " + rc);
}
httpInput = httpConnection.openInputStream();
InputStream inp = httpInput;
byte[] b = IOUtilities.streamToBytes(inp);
EncodedImage hai = EncodedImage.createEncodedImage(b, 0, b.length);
return hai.getBitmap();
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("URL Bitmap Error........" + ex.getMessage());
} finally {
try {
if (httpInput != null)
httpInput.close();
if (httpDataOutput != null)
httpDataOutput.close();
if (httpConnection != null)
httpConnection.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return bitmp;
}
I'm putting multiple instances of my custom field into a verticalfieldmanager, but the images slows the scrolling down. It seems as if every time I scroll it runs the paint method again even though the image has already been downloaded.
I'm thinking I will need to download the images in another thread? Someone lead me in the right direction.
You must start any HTTP interaction in a separate thread (no blocking call).
To avoid downloading same image multiple times cache already downloaded image. You can use image download URL as image tag to store
them.
Every time there is a event on screen, paint method will be called. So don't start download an image if it is already downloaded.
